most the bows will be all fiberglass from 10# to 55#.the heavier wts will be nice for hunting or bowfishing an can be shot left or right handed.i will prolly have 2 laminated recurves ,but they will be well over 100$ .one a lefty(1970 bear),the other a righty,takedown

Hey George I would be interested in a couple right handed bows around 55# Depending how much you want I wouldnt mind one for regular hunting and 2 for bow fishing. But I would like at least 2 if you have them. 1 55# for me and maybe a 45 # for my nephew. If youd like send me a pm and we can work out a price and such. :)

zfish,the bows will be priced higher in most cases than at a general yardsale according where i got em,most of the high poundage was purchased on ebay,so they will be higher priced than the ones i got a local auctions.there will be some all fiberglass longbows as well as the all fiberglass recurves.oh dont forgit whitesmill is only 3-4 miles away an turk huntin on the wayne is walkin distance,for me anyhow!

well i made several kids happy with a bow an arrow,the yardsale was much bigger then xpected,we had a lot of stuff.made about 600$ before xpenses,so i was happy too,rained all day sun,we had a shot at 1000$ but the rain washed that chance out.i just sat out there rain dripin off muh fred bear hat all day til muh ol lady finally got me to come in,oh i wanted just one more sale,it could be the big one.lotta huntin stories an offers of,you come hunt my place,turks everywhere or a buck that will break the world record,i hear it all.funny thing i didnt even have anybuddy ask bout the huntin bows butt they bought all fishin stuff.so i do still have 2 45# all glass ben pearson recurves 60"and a 55# all glass bunyun longbow,66"i can let the bunyun go for 15$ since i got it at a local auction cheap butt the 2 recurves were off ebay an i need 50$ ea. on them.all shoot left or right.i had bout 6 large pick up truck loads left,most was donated to a flea market for a senior citizens group an they should make as much or more than what i did.an thats what its all about.

it is a pain to set up an then git the stuff out the day of the sale.we move stuff from columbus down there for months before a sale.but its a lot of fun during the sale,especially seeing so many people happy with what they got.
